If you think the only "pirates" of Scandinavia were the vikings, you should know this: The truth is that there were pirates in Scandinavia long after the vikings stopped plundering. They were active in about the same time as the Caribbean pirates were mostly active.

The vikings from Norway, among other places, travelled to Ireland. They plundrered, raped and killed. Stealing gold from churches, raping nuns and killing preists. No, the vikings were not christains, they were warrior-pirates. Their thoughts of death was that if you died fighting, you would go to Valhall, the place were the gods lived. If you died of other causes you went to Hel`s place, a place of boredom.

The viking age came to an end as the people and their leaders became catholics. They were influenced by the british, and when the time of crusades came, many joined. Many people consider them to have been vikings also at this time, but the plundering and fighting for greed and glory, was over.
